Is listening to Lil Wayne’s music the cause or a symptom of anti-intellectualism? That’s the question that has to be answered, according to a new study.

The study used data from Facebook to figure out the average SAT scores of fans of different artists. They found that if you listen to Lil Wayne, your SAT scores are the lowest (876), and those who listen to Beyonce and TI are slightly higher. They said that fans of Radiohead were in the 1200s and Beethoven fans were at 1376.

The study called Musicthatmakesyoudumb was done by Virgil Griffin, who graduated from the University of Alabama. He also did another study about books that people who read, concluding that those who read the bible have the lowest SAT scores. The highest SAT scores were from people who read the book “100 Years of Solitude.”

The study has gotten criticism from those who consider it to be racist. Many of the Lil Wayne fans are black and come from environments with low-performing schools and unfavorable economic conditions. Also, SAT scores are proven to be culturally-biased and are also a weak indicator of true intelligence.

So, maybe the study doesn’t have all that much merit to begin with. But if low SAT scores are also indicators of a lack of interest in academic achievement, then the “dumb” label might be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Lil Wayne doesn’t seem all that interested in getting people to better themselves through education, and his music reflects that.
